posts from when SZ launched.

"Unlocked again

When I logged off after playing about an hour I saw the top ranked unanon people.

13 level 6 characters.

8 of them Iksars. 2 Dwarves, and a couple wood elves and one other person I think.

"Anyhow, it would appear the race is on. And the soloers are making a run for it. I saw 3 shamans, 2 monks, 2 bards, and a couple warriors I think.

I am semi guessing a lot because I was trying to squeeze my way through the 140 people in my zone. I heard Gfay was over 200.

Naturally, KSing is rampant as people fight over those wolf pelts. *shrug* oh well, what can you do."


230 people in Nek when I made my character btw. Was crazy."

There were around 350 people in Nektulos last night when I went back to get my spells after making 4. I'm not looking forward to returning home from work to find that everyone else is now level 15+ from staying up all night, heh

twas glorious my friends.

If you'd like more than 150 people maximum on teams raise your hand.

if they give us a date and good ruleset, i honestly think we can hit 1k players first day.

good ruleset will attract alot of people. a date (at least a month out) will allow us the necessary time to advertise.

You can have plenty of "lore flavor" in race restrictions if you must have it. Making classes unavailable to certain teams is a recipe for an unbalanced server that will go the way of R99. Who the fuck is going to play on team ranger when evil has a monopoly on two of the top PvP classes? Shall we revisit how that went on SZ? And that was after the expansions that made ranger/paladin/druid decent classes. Confined to pre-AA territory, it'd be even worse.

People are talking as if SZ was a succesful, thriving server. It had literally the smallest playerbase in EQ and one team utterly dominated everything to the point where the other two practically didn't exist. Repeating the SZ ruleset would be so monumentally retarded that I'd have to consider the whole thing an elaborate troll attempt. It would be an act of emulating possibly the worst server structure in MMORPG history.

How would you, as a former SZ player, rebalance teams then?

Team West Antonica - Erudin (w/Paineel), Halas, Qeynos(w/Surefall), Oggok?

Team East Antonica - Freeport, Rivervale, Grobb, Neriak, Oggok?

Team Faydwer/Kunark - Kaladim, Kelethin, Felwithe, Ak'Anon, Cabilis

Allow Human rangers to start in freeport and use the trainer in Kithicor as the GM and all teams have every class. This is no more ridiculous than some of the other suggestions.

I'd balance teams by sending everyone copies of World of Warcraft.
